Has anyone here tried Yahoo's Finance Manager feature? This is where you link all your accounts and it calculates your net worth and you can do transfers, bill pay, etc. The only account it can't link of mine appears to be IB. It seems to be useful as a "one-glance" type manager to know all...

Keep it in perspective. I don't see any "reaming" !?!

Because between now and expiration, that stock that went from $100 to $1 to $5000 to $100 will probably experience more massive volatility. So while the premium will eventually decay very quickly, you would pay much more than $100 in the meantime to own the put simply because the stock is...

Guilty until proven innocent...or for this, bullshit until proven legit.

1 time out of 5 I will find it somewhat amusing because of my mood at that time. But 4 times out of 5 I find his non-market random thoughts completely lame - as if he's trying to be a comedian and intellectual at the same time, trying to come up with something funny and ingenious and proud of...

Trading stocks or futures, whats the most you've been margined out? I think for me via futures its been almost 15x my account size. :confused: Very very brief though, and sweating all of the way. The little angel on my shoulder says to me - WTF are you thinking you moron - during those...

I must admit I am surprised by the results albeit this small nearly meaningless sample size. I thought we would have an overwhelming majority being top/bottom callers. Interesting...

The assumption in his example is that that was the bottom. So obviously the anticipatory trader is going to look much more appealing than the confirmation trader. However, you can use the exact opposite example. Lets say it was just a bounce, and the downtrend continued. Then the...

As a trader, it can be very profitable to catch the tops and bottoms. I remember reading in Market Wizards, a trader said that he made all his money on the big tops and big bottoms despite being wrong many times. However, many traders have also been blown out of the water doing this. Do you...

You can't hold the S&P down, as long as you have the Fed and PPT around. Continue to buy those dips says Dubya, and I'll be back another 4 years for ya!...

ES, stocks, options. I think my biggest foe recently has been sentiment. It has worked well since Feb 2000, but for some reason, this market is defying sentiment. People are way too bullish for the market to make significant gains (you would think), but the market plows higher. This...

Since those March lows, the market is now up roughly 22%. How much have you returned (%)? I'll be the first to admit that it caught me off guard and I left the party way to early. And as I've been shorting some recently, its even eating into those profits slowly. Tough market...

In which direction are you positioning yourself for the next 10% move, either short term or intraday?

I'm currently looking into the TC2000 Market Indicators (ie. % stocks above 40 MA) as possible buy/sell indicators for the S&P. Does anyone know which software would allow this? Generating buy/sell signals from one TC2000 symbol for another TC2000 symbol? Similar to, for example, generating...

Market continues to defy gravity. People seem to be pretty complacent about Ebay at 100 and Dell at a PE in the high 30s. Heck, an oversold rally in the dollar or selloff in bonds could keep this market going. tick tock...tick tock...

Who gives a sh*t!!!! Unless you think that the economy is fine, the longer this goes on the bigger the downside will be. I may be off, but for the most part...wasn't the average Joe Schmoe more hurt from the stock market bubble than benefited? And didn't the "unrealistic" market lead to...

This market just insists on hanging onto its momentum. Earnings didn't justify the runup (ie. INTC, WMT). Economic numbers released this weak aren't all that strong and don't signal an imminent turn. The dollar languishes. Anyone care to speculate what the people buying are thinking at...

As I understand it, most of us being daytraders, odds are not in any of our favor either!?!

Your perfomances for systems A, B, C, and D - up to which date does your performance consist of backtesting and historical data, and which date did you start actual implementation of the systems on a "real time" basis? thnx...
